obviously an epic failure from a campaign. if you are someone who doesn t agree with the president s policies, what would be your suggestion as to what they could do that s going to be effective because obviously resistance isn t working. look, i think they should keep electing people like chuck schumer and nancy pelosi because they have done such a bangup job. make sure al franken stays in the senate to continue to grope women. this is what they should do. democratic party so full of ideas. party bifurcated on the far west coast and east coast of the country. they have lost all of middle america because they have no ideas. all they want to do is stop the american economy from growing. griff: corey, you mentioned the fake news media. let me say. this now we have multiple instances. cnn on the wikileaks. abc on the mike flynn story and some other things involving the deutsche bank subpoenaing the trump family. why does this matter now? why was last night more significant and do you be
radicalized, normalized, partisanship. eboni: okay, but let s talk about before obama. christian, christian, let s go before obama s administration. you talked about the capitol hill regulations that were in place at the doj during your tenure there. don t you think it would be a great idea if we got rid of this issue regardless of party, and, therefore, if you are in the doj and you are affecting as an attorney or something like that, you don t have a political stance. you don t make contributions to campaigns. and you don t show up to candidates celebration parties. yeah, bingo. you have nailed something there you shouldn t make contributions. look, i made them when i was there. but i also found it to be odd that it would be okay. there is very few areas of doj where you can t make contributions. here is an each lower standard. how about don t blog at the huffington post and prosecute mike flynn? how about that as a basic standard. don t be a soros fellow and get hired by rod rose
to or planning to go to a hillary clinton victory party? do you have a problem with that? it s not even surprising. look, when i was at the justifiable department. you had ethical guidelines for lawyers. and lawyers could not insert themselves into jobs where their politics were in question, where there might be bias. and, unfortunately, everybody seems to be biased on this investigation. and rod rosenstein, who is the deputy attorney general can t seem to get it under control. he needs to pick up the phone, tell robert mueller that people like aaron zalinsky and all of the people you featured need to go or rosenstein needs to go, period. eboni: christian, isn t it true that no matter who is actually in office, this becomes a problem? no matter who is actually in control, right? no matter which side of the aisle is leading. no. eboni: wouldn t it be better? no, that s not true. no, absolutely not. eboni: tell me why. because the department from stem to stern during the holder e
right or state government, for that matter, and you know a part of your job is going to have to operate in these kind of capacities. don t you think it wise to extract yourself from the politics of all of that or how about not give those type of campaign donations or i don t know show up at electoral celebration party that turned into like you said an epic disaster, dan. i would think preserving one s credibility in those roles would be paramount. but maybe that s just me. what do you think, dan? no. you know, eboni, that s a great question. i mean that. a very sensitive one to me. i was a secret service agent for barack obama. a job i was very proud of. as you said before, listening before the break, or tomi said barack obama was my president. i disagreed with just about every single thing did he, i was very proud when i left the presidential protection division to walk in the oval office and get photos with my family with him. he is the president of the united states. eboni: right.
trump is doing in terms of his first year in office. griff: we should mention, you said the representative. not just john lewis, it s benny thompson and mississippi representative. i group you in memphis. went to ole miss. my question finally for you, deneen is does this matter? this is going to cause divisions. this is not going to be good for the country and certainly not for the folks in mississippi if it breaks apart. does this matter or will we move past this? this should be a unifying moment. listen, i say that these gentlemen are doing a disservice to constituents. it should be a unifying moment. there is too much division that has gone on in this country, especially during the last administration with president obama. so, i say they should be unifying the country and not playing on people s emotions trying to eboni: i think that s fair and is emotional for a lot of people in this country. great civil rights icon his widow miley will be there along with president trump.
